I just found this Ace Attorney Character Sorter on tumblr, it puts two characters against each other and you choose which one you prefer. It does this for all the major characters throughout the series (excluding AAI2) and at the end, it spits out a list numbered 1-47 in terms of your favourite to least favourite character. If done right, it should be pretty accurate.If you haven't played AA5 yet, this will be not as accurate and might be a tad spoilery.

EDIT: I FOUND A BETTER ONE! This one you can choose the games to include for the sorting, so if you haven't played AA5/any of the other games you can exclude them! This also includes the option to include AAI2 characters (Prosecutor's Path)

Here are mine! (for the first sorter that only included the major characters)

Spoiler: Top Ten

I’d say mine’s pretty accurate, though I don’t think Athena should be that high (maybe at 10? bumping Trucy down to 11).

Spoiler: Bottom Seven

As for my bottom, this is VERY accurate other than the fact that Kay shouldn’t be worse than Zak. I think she deserves to be higher on the list, but I still don’t love her character writing. (then again, I've only played the first case of AAI2- so I don't know if her character gets better).

((I tried to put this topic in the most general-ace-attorney area as possible. If this belongs somewhere else, I'm very sorry and by all means move this thread!))((Also I'm sorry if there's already a topic for this, I haven't found one but I may have not looked hard enough.))

Interesting, but there are so many characters and choices that after a while you just go 'huh, well I guess I like them both equally' or 'whatever I'll just press tie'. I also ignored both Investigation games, seeing as I simply don't care about the spin-off's characters, and it'd be a waste of time.

I did the second one twice, one time including Dual destinies, and one time without it, as I'm not through it yet. They're pretty much the same, just switch Ron and Dessie for Franziska and Max in the top 10. I have to say the result was pretty accurate, my two number ones (Apollo and Miles) was no surprise, and I like that the two #1 and the three #3 in my first list is excactly how I thought.

An interesting approach, to be sure. My results tell me, however, that the system is flawed, I don't know what my preferences are, or I made some choices without thinking. For example, while I really like Juniper, I don't know if I prefer her over Lana. Also, I know for certain that I prefer Jake Marshall over Damon Gant. There's also the matter of minor characters and people we never even met. There are also two character from Justice For All that weren't on the list: Celeste Inpax and Shoe the cat.

Dahlia and Regina are probably the ones I really hate out of that bunch, and towards Alita I'm...agressively apathetic? Most other characters are more interesting or sympathetic than her; apart from them, seems I'm not fond of creepy pervs at all (though Sal Manella should be down here too; he's at #98)

The first ones were pretty accurate. However, I'm not too sure about the bottom group. I'm kind of surprised that Plum Kitaki was that low. I found her rather bland, but she wasn't outright revolting or off-putting like some of the other characters were. Definitely not worse than Zinc Leblanc or Lance Amano. I also don't hate Lamiroir nearly enough to justify her being in very last place.

Interesting thing to note about my list is that Missile is higher than both of the Von Karmas.......Which is actually pretty accurate.

...And I just realized that the whole time I was taking the test, I was mistaking Byrne Faraday for Manny Coachen.

10. Penny Nichols (Not bad, she just doesn't stand out).9. Morgan Fey8. Frank Sawit (Forgettable villian for a first game)7. Ernest Armano ("Now, now, now.")6. Athena Cykes ( They could have done so much with her character. Hopefully they develop her more in GS6).5. Marlon Rimes (This guy could have been in my top 10 if it weren't for that stupid transformation).4. Playable Phoenix Wright GS1-GS5 (He's just a goofy idiot who depends on others)

Wocky's spot was well earned. This is mostly accurate. Maya and Mia are lower than I thought. My top 25 is pretty accurate, except I don't know what Bansai is doing in there. I'd also like to put Franziska and Gregory Edgeworth in there somewhere, so you can bump Bansai out and make Shih-na/Calisto one character. Anyway, the top 25 is mostly accurate, except I'd move some one or two places up and others one or two places down

I really like looking through all of your lists. It's interesting

Edit: I also don't know why Godot is so low. I think he's a bit overrated and he wouldn't be in my top 25, but I certainly like him better than Mikagami, Moto, and Teneiro

Edit2: I also don't know why Kay is so high. She's definitely a top 10, but number 4 is a bit too high. I'm actually surprised that a lot of the investigations characters are as high as they are, yet I'm not objecting to their spots on the list

Edit3: I also noticed there are no DLC characters. I don't mind because I doubt they would've ranked that highly, but who knows. I had some surprises on my list

I thought you liked Shi-Long Lang and Naito?

Anyway, I liked your list. I thought I'd see Juniper somewhere on it, though :/

I'd think that poor Phoenix would be higher up on the list. And how could the Judge be below the Bellboy and Marvin Grossberg?!

Wow. You really like the assistants. Nice to see someone who likes Kay. I think it's kind of funny how Shin-na and Calisto are two places apart, though. Anyway, I mostly agree with some of the people at the top, though I disagree with some you put near the bottom

Nothing generic about it! I really like seeing the different submissions from people. It's more effective than any personality test. I mostly agree with your list, though, I think some villains are too low. It's not my list, though. I'm just giving my opinion on yours. I liked it

I got lucky with the Shin-na/Calisto thing. My sorter put them against each other so I just did a tie

I decided to redo it without tying anything except you know who and you know who and Ben and Trilo. I'm generally more happy with this one. The only super-"controversial" thing would be Dahlia's placement

Athena should be higher, too. Maybe like the average of my original list and this one?I also want to point out that Ema is by far my favorite assistant and her 1-5 incarnation would be a top 3 character

I love that Mr. Hat is one of the choices...1. Edgeworth2. Sebastian3. Mr. Hat4. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIN NEWWWWWWWWWWWMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!5. Blackquill6. Spark (I like him, but how did he get THERE?!)7. Gregory (Why isn't he number 3? I don't know...)8. Kay (HOW?! WHY ISN'T SHE 6?!)9. Ema10. Winston
